Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo blocking 18+ rated Wii U eShop content at certain times

Stupid idea. Is this europe or only in italy as the guy contacted NOI?

Well I can confirm that this is true. Oh brother.
If this doesn't get patched by adding eShop to the parental controls settings then...I don't know what to say. I'm totally speechless.



Why is Nintendo trying to play cyber-parent?



Yeah, it's not like those kids have access to that content on the motherfucking INTERNET!!! or something.


Fuck censorship in general.



Why not restrict only the accounts of children seeing the trouble people had to go through to create account for their children.

Very strange move by NOE.

Surely parental controls are enough.



That's quite weird. I just watched some porn on mine and its 8:00 in the morning.

Just in case anyone is curious, porn hub plays on the wii u's browser since it plays in html5.



Since I'm not in EU, this won't affect me when I eventually buy a WiiU, but I don't see how any intelligent adult would buy this console for themselves. And how does a time window stop children from viewing 18+ rated games? If the parents buy the console for their kid and puts the console in their kid's room or even the living room, what's to stop the kid from staying up past 10:59pm? This isn't logical at all.

Well Nintendo of Europe is located in germany... there the law is very strict regarding games rated 18+ so this move does indeed make sense to me...Otherwise Nintendo want their games for everyone to appeal therefore also for little kids...you see what this means right ;)


But I guess its only restricted in europe and I don't see it coming to the US so stop whining about non-existing things ...
